BUILT TO PERFECTION
How can you tell when you've achieved perfection? When you've refined every detail until you can't improve it any further? When all the individual components come together to make one, beautifully balanced whole? One look at the Peugeot 308 and you'll agree that in its class, this is one car that can't be bettered.
Sleek rear lines contribute to the 308's sporty and stylish profile, both through its wrap-around windows and muscular bumper.
Sleek V-shaped bonnet coupled with the distinctive front sports grille instill an air of dynamism to the 308, even at a standstill.
Access to the load area is made easier via the wide tailgate and low sill height of only 548 mm from the ground.
Taut boy lines that extend from the rear shoulder to the front wheel gives the 308 a feeling of momentum and sportiness.
QUALITY IN DEPTH
If you like what you see on the surface, you'll be even more impressed when you discover what lies beneath. Immerse yourself in true superior comfort and quality as you slide into an unprecedented sense of space in the new 308.
Huge panoramic heat-reflective glass roof gives an amazing sense of spaciousness and illumination while filtering out 90% of the sun's ultraviolet rays.
Ergonomically designed dashboard puts every control you need close at hand while freeing up space around the driver's and front passenger's knees.
Chrome insturment clusters not only allow for clearer visibility but also add a touch of class to the interior.

Handy air conditioned glove box keeps your drinks chilled for a refreshing drive.
THE PERFECT DRIVING PARTNER
Settle down in the driving seat of the 308 and you know you're on the road to the perfect driving experience. From its exhilarating response and sheer composure on the road, this is perfect driving partner that you'll come to appreciate.
Electro-hydraulic variable power steering offers the driver maximum driving precision and control even during high speed cruising.
Extra-large ventilated disc brakes provide excellent braking performance without a hint of vibration.
The 308's rigid chassis, low centre of gravity and wide wheelbase has been fine tuned to provide the best possible combination of roadholding and driving dynamics.
The widened frame of the 308 increases its stability and improves its handling.
The award-winning ultra-responsive direct injection 1.6 litre engine delivers 120hp and 140hp (Turbo) of power with high level of efficiency.
AN ENTERTAINING RIDE IS A SAFE RIDE
At Peugeot, we don't believe you should have to take risks to have fun on the road. That's why we've spent thousands of hours developing, testing and refining the 308 to ensure it can keep its composure on even the most demanding of roads. So it's hardly surprising that it was awarded five stars in the Euro NCAP* tests - the highest safety accolade a car can receive.
Protective passenger safety cell designed to absorb maximum frontal crash energy in the event of an accident. This includes 3 impact absorption structures such as the collapsible steering column which retracts to prevent the engine and gearbox from being pushed back into the cabin.
All-round protection continues with reinforced side panels to take the brunt of the force if you are hit from that angle, plus an aluminium alloy impact bar at the back to safeguard the cabin and the petrol tank.
Anti-lock brakes help you keep control of the steering and prevent the car from skidding under heavy braking.
Emergency Brake Assist (EBA) hits the brakes hard in a hurry and the system will come to your aid, applying maximum braking power in milliseconds to bring you to a halt quickly and safely.
Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBFD) applies a different amount of braking force to individual wheels to keep the car stable - especially if you need to brake in a corner.
Electronic Stability Programme (ESP) Traction-balancing safety feature to help keep your car stable in times of emergency (Turbo only).
Automatic Hazard Warning Lights wil be deployed during emergency braking situations to alert drivers behind thus preventing rear-end collisions.
Winner of the prestigious Golden Steering Wheel, awarded by Germany's national weekly newspaper Bild am Sonntag. The 308 was voted Best Compact Hatchback based on criteria such as overall design, drivability, quality, safety, and environmental friendliness.

WINNING OVER CRITICS
With the 308, we've made a conscious effort to push the boundaries of style and substance seen in a hatchback. The level of craftmanship and panache weaved into every bit of the 308 - be it exterior design or the smallest cabin components - makes it a cut above its peers. Hence, it comes as no surprise that the 308 has picked up reowned quality awards as well as rave reviews.
